AggroDisplay

[Korby]

Long ago when I started playing WoW, one of the first addons I downloaded from this site was named AggroDisplay. That addon has worked flawlessly up until 4.01 hit.

I am not a programmer, though I do understand enough to see how things work, and what this addon does is very simple. If PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED is true (essentially meaning that the player is not in combat and is regening health and mana at a normal rate), then the addon just displays an * on the screen. However, if you happen to tick something off and PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED is true, then the message "Aggro!" is shown on screen. Nothing more, nothing less, short and simple.

Could somebody please take a look at it, the lua is only 25 lines long, and see if you can get it working for 4.01? I would really appreciate it.

It's a rar archive which means I can't even open it :/

You might consider bar4threat or Simple Threat Meter (both on this site).

Except I don't want a threat meter, I have Omen for that, and even Omen doesn't do what this does unless I have the mob targeted.

Also, I should have just put this here in the first post, since it's so short.

function aggroFrame_OnEvent()
local aggro_TRUE = "Aggro !";
local aggro_FALSE = "*";

    if(event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED") then
        aggro_TRUE = "Aggro !";
    
        aggro:SetText(aggro_TRUE);
    end

    if(event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") then
        aggro_FALSE = "*";
    
        aggro:SetText(aggro_FALSE);
    end

end

function aggroFrame_OnLoad()
    this:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED");
    this:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Aggro Display loaded -OK-");
end

That's the whole thing. I doubt the XML needs any editing though.

I'll give a drycode try (meaning I didn't try it ingame). :P

Beautiful! Works perfectly. Thank you so much.
